The student went on to explain how she had sent the drunk voice note as a joke as she got along with most of her co-workers but the general manager apparently was not impressed with the message.

That being said, the exact person Rachael needed a reference from a year later was this exact person — unfortunately.

The company she was currently applying at required a reference from every previous employer but when she reached out to her formal general manager, Rachael was met with no response.

While the manager was not required to give a beaming recommendation about Rachael, they just had to state Rachael worked with them. That being said, her reference still may have been a little salty.

Rachael added:

“I sent the voice note when I was drunk as a joke… but I think the general manager wasn’t happy about it as it was awkward next time I saw them. I got along with people there but the general manager I probably didn’t get along with, although nothing was left on bad terms. My new job requires a reference from every employer I’ve had just to state I’ve worked there. It wasn’t a reference to say how good I was or anything, it’s to prove I am who I say I am and they read and ignored my message.”

Thankfully the 21-year-old has found the silver lining in this situation:

“I find the whole thing funny. But I wish someone else had done it not me.”
